Tell them where the Lord’s people are gathered together in His name, there the Lord Jesus is present in a special manner and that those who absent themselves must expect, like the Apostle Thomas, to miss a blessing. “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is” (
Heb. 10:25
25
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. (Hebrews 10:25)
).
Do not allow them to grow up with a habit of deciding whether or not they want to go to the meetings.
I do not like to see what I call a “young people’s corner” in an assembly. They often catch habits of inattention and irreverence there which it takes years to unlearn, if ever they are unlearned at all. What I like to see is a whole family sitting together. “We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters, . . . for we must hold a feast unto the Lord” (
Ex. 10:9
9
And Moses said, We will go with our young and with our old, with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our herds will we go; for we must hold a feast unto the Lord. (Exodus 10:9)
).
We should not lightly esteem the Lord’s Day by turning it into a day of recreation and self-gratification.
